Single-Cell maps of leukemia may reveal why some tumors resist venetoclax
NCT ID NCT07874100
First seen Oct 14, 2026 · Last updated Oct 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
Researchers are studying bone marrow samples from about 420 people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to map the genetic and cellular differences between patients. They collect samples at diagnosis, at relapse, and 28 days after treatment starts. A smaller group of 40 patients receiving the drug venetoclax gets detailed single-cell RNA analysis to see how individual leukemia cells differ. The goal is to find molecular markers that could improve diagnosis and help predict who responds to which therapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- genetic and single-cell analysis of bone marrow samples, including in patients treated with venetoclax
- What this could lead to
- If the mapping works, doctors could one day sort AML into more precise subgroups and pick treatments, including venetoclax, with better odds of working.
- What could go wrong
- This is a laboratory analysis of stored samples, not a test of whether a treatment works. The markers it finds may not predict outcomes in other patients or change care.

Not a phased trial
Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.
